Question about CLASS= & classname
by steve.aiello＠ge.com 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Per the hobbit-clients.cfg documentation I read the following: CLASS=classname Rule match by the client class-name. You specify the class-name for a host when starting the client through the "--class=NAME" option to the runclient.sh script. If no class is specified, the host by default goes into a class named by the operating system. My questions: The default classname setting of the operating system, which value is it ? When I look at the client data of a host I see the following: [uname] Linux serverName 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 i686 [osversion] Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 Is the default value of classname set to [uname] or [osversion]. Also is it the full name ? If so do I define my CLASS="Linux serverName 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 i686" ? Can regular expresion be used, CLASS=%Linux.* ? Can a host be defined to more than one class, i.e. 1.2.3.4 serverName # ssh CLASS:Linux CLASS:webServer If a host can have more than one class definition, what happens when you get CLASS configuration parameter collision ? Also, it may bee helpful to have the Info report show which class the device falls under. Thank you, Steve

Propogating acks and other ack queries..
by Craig_Whilding＠mentor.com 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

* Is there a way of doing this currently, could there be a way? Basically if everything on the page is acked propagate the tick of the highest alert colour if not show the colour of the highest alert as before. It's just for our field team with a big board to look at so they don't have to keep going into subpages to see if something new has come up when away from their email. * Also on the new nopin page could we ack by day hours and minutes and not just minutes up to 9999 (these longer term problems are mostly in unmanned remote sites). Just avoids having to get out the calculator and work out longer periods ;). * Having setup an alternate pageset, how can I get the admin pages to work from it, currently they seem to think it's the original main page? * Is it a future plan for all acks to end up looking like the critical alerts page acks? Hopefully getting these questions sorted will finally please the field side of the business and speed up our hobbit roll out :-) (even though I leave the job on Tuesday!).

Hi Henrik Could it be possible to implement the "no-cookies" flag there too, so we could see all hosts from any pages? Thanks Dominique UNIL - University of Lausanne

Beware Vmware time drift
by Vernon.Everett＠dpi.wa.gov.au 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Hi all I tried running Hobbit on Ubuntu Linux in a a VM. The main problem I discovered is massive time drift when running any Linux-type OS in a VM. (This is a documented problem, but you have to search for the document) I was looking at drifts of over 20 minutes per hour. Keeping tabs on any events is almost impossible. There is a clinet available for some Linux flavours which will keep the local clock in sync with the host clock, but I couldn't find one for Ubuntu, and it was easier just to install Solaris 10 on a PC. For my purposes, I have to conclude that running Hobbit on Linux in an MS-Windows VM is not an option.

If you have the VMware Player installed (free download from www.vmware.com) this lets you have a demonstration / test / play-around-with-stuff Hobbit server running without setting up a dedicated server for it. Since VMware Player is available for MS-Windows, it will even let you run a Hobbit server on a Windows-based system, although at the cost of having a virtual server running (i.e. you'll need a bit of RAM to support it). For those who want to play with it, it is available from the Hobbitmon "Files" area on sourceforge.net.

Passive FTP test?
by FRamaekers＠ailife.com 11 Aug '06

Is there a more passive method to test FTP. Apparently on BulletProof FTP it's logging each ftp test and creating an extensive log file. TIA, Frank M.

cpu alerts
by billieperez＠gmail.com 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Hello - I have a standby hobbit server running 4.2-alfa-20060423, with alerts configured the same as the primary hobbit server running 4.2.1RC1. I have a duration of 10m set up for the cpu alert and have been noticing cpu alerts coming before the 10 minutes (cpu only panics for 4:59) and only sends the alert doesn't send a recovery. Like I mentioned I have the same alert configured on another hobbit server and don't get alerts from that one, only the standby. Has anyone seen different behavior with alerting for this hobbit version? Any ideas why this might be happening? I have a bunch of other alerts set up that seem to be behaving properly, it just seems to be cpu that is acting different. Here's the alert config - MAIL $UNIX HOST=%(server1|server2|server3) DURATION>10m RECOVERED SERVICE=cpu COLOR=red,purple Thanks in advance for any info

I still get "Failed to retrieve ghostlist from server" on the web page.

Because that "ping" should respond back with the Hobbit version number.
